Purpose The fat mass-and obesity-associated (FTO) gene on chromosome 16q12. 2 shows
an intimate association with obesity and body mass index. Recently, research into the FTO …

DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic modification in the human genome; pivotal in
development, genomic imprinting, X inactivation, chromosome stability, gene expression …

Several studies have proved that DNA methylation affects regulation of gene expression and
development. Epigenome-wide studies have reported variation in methylation patterns …

It is the intention of this review to characterize milk's role as an epigenetic regulator in health
and disease. Based on translational research, we identify milk as a major epigenetic …

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms within intron 1 of the FTO (fat mass and obesity-

The consumption of cow's milk is a part of the basic nutritional habits of Western
industrialized countries. Recent epidemiological studies associate the intake of cow's milk …

ABSTRACT DNA methylation is a process in which methyl (CH3) groups are added to the
